Heroman is a pretty good action show about a boy and a robot. You could even say it was once destined for great things until licensing and plans fell apart... so it sits subbed only on Crunchyroll without a proper release on disc.

It's a pretty enjoyable show and it looks really nice.

The basic concept was by Stan Lee, along with writing the manga. Various things in the show were based on conversations between Stan Lee and the producer (most notably the name 'Joey Jones' fitting the alliterative naming style Lee used with many characters.)

The show has a few Digimon connections, including one big one to the new movie:

Unsho Ishizuka plays Gogol in Heroman. In Digimon Tamers he was Vajramon.
Masafumi Kimura plays Stallion in Heroman. In Digimon he's played a number of smaller roles, but is probably best known as Whamon from Adventure.
plays Denton in Heroman. In Digimon he's had a few roles, but is best known as Yushima in Savers.
Akatsuki Yamatoya was the series composer for Heroman, and wrote most of the series. For Digimon h

I've embedded the episode preview for episode 1 as a preview:

Feel free to post as you wish in this thread. You can post as you are watching, episode by episode, when you finish. Whatever you want. Try and give it a couple days for later spoilers so people have time to try and view stuff without spoilers, while still interacting in the thread (especially if you decide to keep watching past the episode listed as the last one for the leadup.) If you watch one episode and it isn't for you, pop in to explain why. Have fun with it!

A new show/movie will go up each Sunday night (or early on Monday), but feel free to keep talking about older shows in their threads, or even watching past the listed episode.

I'm a little late giving my thoughts on this one (I watched the whole series), but I liked it very well. It was interesting to see an anime with such a distinctly American setting, and I found it funny that the human villain was the only character of Japanese descent. It would be nice if the series eventually got a sequel, though it was my impression that the little stinger scene at the end was just something for fun rather than an actual sequel hook, and I'm not sure if they'd want to do it now that Stan Lee has passed away. It's been a while anyway. If I had any quibbles with the show, it would probably be the rather unceremonious disposal of Nick and Will. I wasn't sure if they were really dead, and actually had to rewatch part of the last episode just now to figure out when and how Will made his exit.
